Arizona Highways Photo Workshops
From Monument Valley to Canyon de Chelly, from the Grand Canyon to the Grand Tetons, our field workshops offer breathtaking scenery and the chance to craft memorable photographs. Our experienced photographers will lead you to some of their favorite locations, and will share techniques essential for creating successful photographs. Critiquing sessions of past work or even images taken on the workshop are conducted when possible, so students can glean what they need to work on and what is already successful about their images.
Workshops generally have between 8-15 participants, and our small group sizes allow you to enjoy camaraderie and friendship while sharing both education and adventure. Each day is packed with opportunities to photograph and to learn, as we are often up before sunrise to catch the early morning light and to bed well after sunset's last rays have left the horizon.
How can I get on your list for future workshops?
Feel free to contact us at any time regarding our workshops. A preliminary schedule of our 3 or longer day trips is generally available by late August to early September, for personal use only. Weekend workshops are updated several times a year on our website. We maintain an “Interest List” for upcoming workshops, so let us know if you cannot attend a workshop in the current year but would like to in the coming year. You will be notified once the schedule is posted online. Once the schedule is posted you will be able to register. We do not take standing reservations for particular photographers’ workshops. If you wish to recommend a workshop location(s) please contact us with your idea(s).
